While I really, really like the repaints and the helmetless FB, I don't want to deal with the rigamarole of using a proxy to get these. If they went up on a retail site then I might consider getting them.

(I'm actually kinda looking forward to the upcoming Shinki downtime and my wallet is really looking forward to it too. Does this make me a "bad" shinki collector? )

This.

In fact, I like the repaints a whole heck a lot better than the originals, so I don't care how much $$$ I have to cough up to buy them or how long it will take for me to acquire them once they come out, but... I'm so buying both.
